Just call her Tyra Zoe-Paltrow. Ms. Banks has jumped on the celeb style publication bandwagon with the launch of an online magazine called Tyra: Beauty Inside & Out. The website will cover all things style, including fashion and beauty, but will also focus on health and love. Both with her modeling and talk show,…

"The Tyra Show" came back for its fifth season yesterday! Perez Hilton (barf) stopped by as the first guest. But the main event was Tyra Banks, who is usually weaved to within an inch of her life, hosting the whole show with her natural hair. Unforch, Tyra's real hair is anticlimactic—i.e. she'…

Tyra Banks says she isn't engaged; the ring she's been wearing on her left ring finger is her 10-karat, diamond-less high school class ring. [Us Weekly] -- I think she and boyfriend John Utendahl are going to end up like Oprah and Steadman. Hayden Panettiere was all smiles as she…

Warning: Tyra Banks is listening. A few weeks ago, after Solange Knowles buzzed her hair, we wondered if the recession was killing the weave, and suggested that Ms. Smile With Her Eyes get rid of hers, too. And apparently, she is! Here's what she Twittered yesterday: “Guess What! I’m rockin’ my…

Wanna be on top? Well, these girls certainly do. The CW has released the names and photos of the 14 women who'll be competing in cycle 13 of "America's Next Top Model." At this point, the show has gotten pretty formulaic. We know there'll be a makeover episode where pounds of mascara will be…

Check it out, Frisky readers, Simcha and her amazing grandma Janet stopped by "The Tyra Show" today to answer audience questions, just like they've done in our "Ask Grandma" video series.

Fascinating topic on "The Tyra Show" today -- gay for pay porn actors! In the clip above, Tyra asks a married father of three why he prefers to, ahem, receive presents rather than give them. TyTy has such a knack for making XXX subject matter seem G-rated.

Last night, former supermodel Paulina Porizkova revealed that she got booted from her position as judge on "America's Next Top Model." Producers told her that she had an ego problem and had to go. They gave Paulina the news on her birthday over the phone. [KansasCity.com] Ego problem? They have met Tyra Banks,…

Tyra tackled the issue of black women and girls hating their natural hair and examined the lengths they go to straighten it. I found it extremely sad that a six-year-old girl could hate herself so much at such a young age and has already figured out that she doesn't fit the beauty ideal. I wonder…

Last week, Tyra Banks said she's trying to expand the idea of what the fashion industry considers beautiful. According to her, black models with lighter skin are deemed more commercial, whereas darker-skinnned black models are considered more high fashion. We've noticed this phenomenon holds true when a woman's "hotness" is being judged, too.

Over the weekend, Tyra Banks took part in The New York Times' "Times Talks." Besides demonstrating to the audience how to do a few of her 275 smiles, Tyra said she wakes up every day to "expand the idea of beauty," which encompasses trying to change people's views of what is beautiful. “I…

Ann Ward is by leaps and bounds the most awkward girl to appear on "America's Next Top Model." At 6'2" she towered over the other already-tall contestants and she had a Vivien Lee-sized waist that caused controversy before Cycle 15 even started. Oh, and her personality. Ann is not just soft-spoken—when she speaks, it actually…

Watch Timmy and Alice's bad Facebook behavior to learn what not to do. [Your Tango] -- Totally hilarious! Kate Moss caught a fungal infection in her toe from a New York nail salon. She's on antibiotics, so she has to lay off the booze. [Dlisted] -- Note to Kate: If you…

Oh damn, Levi Johnston, Bristol Palin's ex and baby daddy, is on The Tyra Show right now and he and his family are spillin' the beans! TyTy, of course, wants to assure everyone that this is a legitimate interview -- that Levi and his family are not being paid to appear. Duh, you know they…

Don't forget! Tonight at 8 pm EST, I'll be liveblogging yet another episode of that hot mess masquerade they called "America's Next Top Model." I need Tyra to do something crazy, and soon. Or I need Mr. Jay to get bitchy with the girls. Everything has been far too nice so far this season. Oh,…

As you slog your way through the myriad not-yet-April Fools' Day pranks that plague this nation, revel in this: no one has ever pranked someone better than Michael Jackson pranked Russell Crowe, and he did it for years. In an interview with The Guardian, Crowe revealed that despite having never met Jackson,…
